money to the border, all of our money to detention centers. but not only are we neglecting fema, but we re also neglecting maybe cybersecurity, we re neglecting providing for protection from other things that are maybe not physical in nature, but cyber in nature. so this is really worrisome, how we see the reshuffling of money for the one project that is really about donald trump s central piece for his electoral strategy. well, and all of this is playing out, clarence, as congress wraps up its summer break. they re coming back to d.c. soon and senate republicans are reportedly getting anxious about trump s handling of the economy. politico reporting one gop official saying, everyone acknowledges that the economy is good, but they re still uneasy about their own circumstances. i am nervous that people will lose their patience and want to start seeing results. and just as an aside, another republican member of the house today announced that he will not be running for re-election. do y
people are feeling the pain out there. and that doesn t help anybody. no, it does not. clarence page, thank you. victoria, please sta with y wit. after a 30-second break, the slow build of democrats coming out for impeachment since mueller s testimony. also, trump s new policy that could deport migrants with severe illnesses. i ll talk to the family of a five-year-old boy, samuel costa. this isn t political for him. it s a matter of life and death. and later, a one-on-one with billionaire and presidential candidate tom steyer. i m chris jansing in for ari melber. you re watching the beat msnbc. back in 30 seconds. yes! that s why i wear skechers slip-ons. they re effortless. just slip them right on and off. skechers slip-ons, with air-cooled memory foam. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, hmm. exactly. so you only pay for what you need.
florida or over here in western portions of florida. right now, it s just too early for us to say if we re even going to get a category 4 landfall. but it s still a possibility, and as long as that is the case, you have to prepare. yeah, no kidding. bill karins, thank you for that. all of the preparations for this storm coming just after the trump administration announced a plan to take away funding from fema, shifting $155 million from fema s disaster relief funding to pay for the president s border priorities. and when it looked like dorian could hit the already-battered puerto rico, the president sent multiple tweets attacking the island and its leaders, calling them corrupt and incompetent. all of this as trump faces growing pressure on everything from his trade policy to immigration plans. with growing signs of frustration from a key part of trump s base, farmers, getting ham pemered by trump s trade wa and new ethanol rules. plus, public outcry after the administration eliminat
